I'm not sure whether Daniel Hannan, the anti-EU anti-NHS anti-poor people freshly minted peer, has been nominated for the pantheon of Super-Twats, but if he ent it is a startling omission. Anyway, he wants to trample all over various things that are stopping his obscenely wealthy pals from getting even richer, for e.g.
- the Temporary Workers’ Directive
- the General Data Protection Regulation
- the ban on products made from genetically modified crops
- the REACH Directive, wot outlaws chemicals linked to health problems including cancer, thyroid disease, hormone disruption and slow development.
- the End of Life Vehicles Directive
- the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive introduced to regulate hedge funds and private equity following the 2008 financial crash
- “chunks of” the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) – the legal framework to harmonise regulation of securities markets and trading venues
Even without the last two the list would be more than sufficient to ensure Super-Twat status, but those last two merit the addition of Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds to his Twats' Cross. I mean, what could possibly go wrong when financial sharks are allowed to do what they bloody well like, Danno? You twat.
